Other areas of improvement provided by the using FTR Hearings 3.3:

  • Organization - Easily pull up all interviews related to a topic or case by using a case number search, even if the original recording is several months / years old
  • Retrieval - Find notes / recordings by searching for case #s, names, keywords or dates and times.
  • Distribution - Immediately burn multiple CD copies of the recording upon completion of the meeting
  • Post Annotation - Linked / time stamped notes can be added when reviewing a recording
  • Save duplication time - tape duplication and some programs take just as long to duplicate a recording as the original - so, 2 hour interview took another 2 hours to create a copy
  • Degrading Media - tapes degrade over time making viewing and hearing difficult
  • Storage - tapes are bulky and require a fair amount of space to store
  • Filing / Retrieval - Tapes or DVDs, must be physically stored.  Time is lost every time a recording must be found and pulled.  And, if lost or misplaced, a whole case may be jeopardized or outcomes from an event must be revisited.
    • Live Note Taking - Take time stamped notes during the interview for easy retrieval of specific instances
